EGR-2450 Electronic and Digital Circuit Laboratory

Credits 2
Introduction to basic circuit measurement techniques and laboratory equipment (DMM, analog and digital oscilloscope, power supply, function generator, Digital Logic Analyzers) including the limitations and inaccuracies inherent in any measurement device. Design, construction, and performance measurement of circuits containing passive elements, digital logic circuits, transformers, diodes, and operational amplifiers. In addition, simulation tools to design circuits and to analyze performance will be used extending work performed in digital logic design and circuit analysis. Knowledge of both steady state response and transient response is required for a number of experiments. Extensive analysis will be demonstrated in both laboratory books and laboratory reports. Knowledge of statistical analysis as well as other methods of analysis will be required in this class.
Prerequisite(s): EGR-2030 or EGR-2440 completed or concurrent.
2 class/3 lab hours.
Course Outcomes

Design and conduct experiments relating to electronic and digital circuits.
Report results of experiments in a properly written notebook. Include sufficient detail to allow someone to reproduce the experiments.
Analyze experimental data using circuit analysis software (Spice, PSpice, or similar product) or a general purpose programming language (MATLAB, Fortran, or a similar language).
Interpret the results of experiments, including statements about whether the results supported the initial hypothesis.
Demonstrate the proper use of measurement systems, such as an oscilloscope and digital multimeter.
Solve circuit problems in a laboratory setting.
